up the slower drivers. UDOTs reasoning was that speed itself isnt the problem but differences in speed. Speed limits werent working in slowing down most drivers so instead the increased the limit to encourage the slower drivers to be faster.

It's a courteous way of asking the person to get the heck out of the way.

Depends on how close they get. Flashing lights a little ways back is fine, but

The slow person is the discourteous person. The slow jerk in the left lane

No one goes the speed limit in the left lane, so it's cool.

If you are slowing the car behind you down, get over.

why can't they just change lanes? Assuming you're going the speed limit.

Because the left lane is the passing lane

No. Some people just need to learn the rules of the road. Yielding to faster

It was optional in Oregon. But looks like it will finally be illegal to camp in

I really wonder if some self righteous individuals do this

Harrison0Yfan

Yes and they usually drive a Prius or some sort of hybrid

That makes it even more pathetic that we can't get this right

If you are passing on the left, speed up to the flow of traffic, which is

SOP in Germany on the autobahn. A lot of military guys pick up the practice
